Ex-husband is charged with stalking

CARPENTERSVILLE — A man has been charged with stalking after police said he staked out the Carpentersville house of his former wife and threatened her boyfriend.

Police arrested Antonio Martinez, 40, of 126 Evans Ave., Aurora, Tuesday after receiving a tip he was seeking someone to kill the boyfriend of his former wife, Carpentersville Police Cmdr. Timothy Bosshart said.

Several witnesses told police they have seen Martinez in his car, watching his former wife's house in the 100 block of North Green Street since their divorce in May. He also spoke with the son of his former wife, Bosshart said.

"He said he would run his car into any other car leaving the house that was driven by a man," Bosshart said.
